With regard to the public services management Bill, it is a national scandal that today, 13 June, people are still waiting to be paid the Student Universal Support Ireland, SUSI, grants. What does the Government propose to do about this?

That is a Topical Issue. I suggest the Deputy send in a notice on it.

Surely the Tánaiste has a view or something to say about it.

I am sure he has, but not on the Order of Business.

He could surely give an answer under the public services management Bill to the people who are waiting to be paid their SUSI grants in June when they should have been paid last September and October. The Tánaiste must have a comment on it. If I were him, I would stand up and answer the question.

He will not. It is not in accordance with Standing Orders. The Deputy should sit down, because he is outside the Standing Orders.

I will sit down, but I am right to ask the question.

You might be right, but not on the Order of Business.

It is right to ask the question here this morning in fairness to the students who desperately need their grants.
